Planning for a longer life is about more than financial foresight. It’s about health, wellness, and the support systems that let us and our loved ones live with dignity and peace of mind. Dementia is one of the realities many Canadian families will face, and having a plan, both care-wise and financially, can help you prepare for how that chapter unfolds.

In this recent episode of The Hart of It All, host Teri Hart speaks with Dr. Saskia Sivananthan, CEO of the Brainwell Institute, about the Ontario Dementia Task Force and its mission to transform dementia care across the province. They discuss why families need clear guidance, assessments, and support long before caregiver burnout or crisis sets in, and they challenge the misconceptions that still surround dementia today.

I encourage you to give this episode a listen.
